So He told us what was coming and THIS is our strategy…really?
Jesus went to great lengths to make sure we knew IN ADVANCE that the days would come when…
1) All nations of the earth would eventually unite in their hatred and persecution of Christians (MT 24:9)
2) A leader in this united world government would emerge and would deny people the right to buy or sell anything unless they trade in their faith for allegiance to the beast. (REV 13:16-17)
3) He also made it clear that we should seek wisdom and use it to navigate the challenging times and that we should attempt to endure to the end. (REV 13:18, MT 24:25)
So, we had a 2,000 year head start, we knew what was coming. We had time to develop strategies, to set plans in action, to position ourselves as well as possible. How are we doing so far?

Can you regain your freedom?
Plato said “The price good men pay for indifference to political affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” It is time for believers to rediscover their civic duty to “select capable men and let them serve”. It is time to reject the cocktail party mentality that we should check our spiritual and political worldview at the door, that religion and politics are off-limits for polite conversation. It is not time to surrender or stick our heads in the sand, it is time to take Paul’s advice..
“If you can gain your freedom, do so!”
